We quickly got the poor girl down off the tree and onto the ground, Shepard and Clean ran back to the clubhouse and returned with buckets of water. We washed the blood off and hoped that we would be able to see what the message on the girl’s gut was.
“McGary Farm. 6PM.”
“Well this is a fucking trap.” Shepard said from the side of us. He didn’t say much but when he did it was always the obvious.
“No shit, Sherlock.” Devin said standing right besides us.
We looked around for a little while but there was no one around. They weren’t stupid enough to stay and fight us.
“We don’t have a choice. We have to end this shit, looks like it over tomorrow at six. Get your affairs in order.” Wire said before he turned to walk towards the club. I was sure he was going to go find his wife and child. This could possibly be his last night with them. I knew where I had to go to. Mikki.
Chapter 25
I walked into the room where Vida and Mikayla were both asleep on the bed, at least I thought they were. Mikki turned her head when I walked in.
I motioned with my fingers for her to come and she softly pulled out from underneath Vida and tiptoed in my direction.
I pulled her into the other room and closed the door behind us. I pushed her softly against the door as it closed and kissed her. “I am so sorry, I should have never put my fucking hands on you. Never, no matter the circumstance.”
“I can agree with that. I know it was a heated moment, and I am not giving you an excuse but I understand. Just don’t lie to me. I can’t take it Alex. Don’t do that to me.” She tried to look away but I wouldn’t let her.
“Hey, no, I’m fucking here. You look at me when I am talking to you, I want you to hear me.”
Her eyes darted back to mine.
“I love you Mikayla.”
She tried to pull away. “Alex, fucking hell, we just fucking did this!”
“No, I was a pussy about it. I didn’t back up what I said because even I thought I was lying but I’m not. You are right, you will never be my Laura. What she and I had was special, it was for the fucking record books and it is something that you and I will never have. I loved her, I still love her.” I let the fucking tears fall, I wanted her to see all of me even this part. “But what you have given me, what you and I have is just as special. I am a completely different man than I was with Laura. You have a new Alex, you have a new love. I am broken, my soul was shattered into pieces when you met me, but you and those girls put me back together piece by piece. I’m nowhere near goddamn perfect and I am always going to have a few fucking chinks in my armor but all of what I am now,” I put her hand over my heart so she could feel me, “all of me now loves you Mikayla. If you can accept that, I’m yours.”
She sucked in a breath and looked down at her hand, she closed her eyes and perfect juicy tears rolled down her pink cheeks and stopped on her quivering pouty lips.
“Well shit, you know how to win a girl over don’t you?”
“I know how to win over my girl.” I smiled and bent to kiss the wetness off her mouth. There was never a reason I wanted her to cry, but tears of happiness I would allow.
She kissed me back and started to rip my clothing off my body. My insatiable wildcat was back.
“Wait, wait.” She stopped herself.
“What is it.”
“What about Angel? What about the others, any news?”
Part of me didn’t want to tell her about Agra. That right under our noses they were able to come back into the compound and put her mutilated body on a tree but I knew that I couldn’t lie to her either.
“Yeah, not good.”
She pulled back and folded her arms over her chest.
“They managed to sneak in right under our fucking noses and string up Agra.”
“String up, what in the shit does that even mean. Is she still alive?”
I didn’t want to go into the details, that shit was probably going to give me nightmares, I didn’t want that heavy on her mind.
“No, she’s dead. They left her there as a message.”
“Well what was the message?”
“It’s time for this to be over. We are going to meet them tomorrow at six.”
She looked at me like I was crazy, “No way, they set an actual place and time. That is a fucking trap if I ever heard one.”
“Yeah, we know. We are going in prepared but we are still going in.”
She put her head down on my chest, finally she pulled me over towards the bed and laid me down.
“You will do what you need to, to come back to us right?” She asked as she cuddled in closer to me.
“Yes, you know I will, but if I don’t.” She tried to cut me off. “No listen, if I don’t, I need to know that you two will be ok, I need to know that there is no way that Vilanuevas and his fucking asshole gang will be able to get their hands on you again. You run, you kill, you do anything you can to stay free. I want your word.”
“Yes, you have it. I’m never going back.”
I pulled her close and just felt her. I didn’t know what tomorrow was going to bring but I was content that I did everything that I could here. I would die a
